COBOL is a language you should learn as another programming language. Why? well legacy systems that are working today and no one can fix them. You can name your price if you can do it. You think a bank is going to pay you $$$ to fix a bug on a working system or have you rewrite the whole system? This is a perspective from a software engineer.

AgreeAfter I earned my BSCS in the early 1980s, I went and learned COBOL just so I could get a great job, with tons of benefits, working for the state.Now, there are very few of us left, to maintain some of government's most important programs.The legacy systems aren't going away very fast.
